Pondering My Body

Help me. I am trapped inside a body. It's not mine. It's a body that belongs to the damned. This isn't my life. I SWEAR it's not! This is NOT how I'm supposed to be; to feel. I'm supposed to be happy, lovely, beautiful! I'm supposed to have a boyfriend like everyone else! How come I'm not? How come I don't? How come I'm trapped in this stupid body that isn't mine, living a life I don't want?
